Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn. To live
ABOUT ME
I like to learn about almost everything, with an especial feeling towards music, history and dancing. I also like to dance, especially samba de gafiera.
I can play the flute and the saxophone (perhaps I should say that I can blow a flute and a saxophone).
One of my passions is reading, but since I entered my graduation course it has been difficult to find time to read as much as I´d like.
PHILOSOPHY
"There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance"
Ali bin Abul-Talib
"The person who asks is a fool for five minutes, the person who doesn´t ask, is a fool for life"
I would like to ask the source:)... (I´ve heard that somewhere)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can give info about Brazil, and my house is open to almost any visitor. By info I do not only mean travel info(like do and don´t), but also information about Brazilian music, universities (we have 3 or 4 public universities that exceeds even European standards), history, Brazilian foods and whatever I can help with. I am also a nice gafieira dancer
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Only really good experiences so far. I´ve tried hosting, surfing, last minute surfing and last minute hosting. I´ve made some good friends and learned a lot!
Interests
Meeting People, making Friends, learning- these three are the main reasons why I like to travel.

Dancing- I will try and learn whatever style gets in my way!
Culture- Different ways of living and thinking.
Learning languages(now I am after German)
